## SIT Parking on Tay Street and Forth Street

Southern Institute of Technology is at 133 Tay Street in Richmond, near Invercargill Central. The campus page describes the Invercargill site as being surrounded by lots of [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) (sit.ac.nz). SIT’s policies identify free student parking on Forth Street at the Tay Street campus, with parks also available for students with a disability (sit.ac.nz).

Students using the Forth Street area have an official free option close to teaching buildings, while staff and visitors should distinguish student parking from any marked campus or street spaces.

## Parksy Spaces Within 420 Metres of SIT

Three priced Parksy spaces sit within walking distance of the campus. An off-street car park on Forth Street is 260 m away at $1 an hour, making it the closest priced option for students who find the free student area full, as well as for staff needing a short visit.

A space at 92 Esk Street is 350 m away and costs $2 an hour, with 24/7 access suited to visitors or staff arriving outside standard daytime patterns. Secure parking at 65 Tyne Street is 420 m away at $1 an hour and is also available 24/7, giving students, staff and visitors a lower-priced alternative when a longer walk is acceptable.

## Shopping and Council Parking Around Invercargill Central

Remarkables Park Town Centre is not an option for this campus: its parking information relates to the Queenstown site, where parking is limited to 3 hours and strictly enforced (sit.ac.nz). The Queenstown instruction to use Remarkables Park Staff Parking therefore should not be applied to the Tay Street campus in Richmond.

The Invercargill campus page says the site is surrounded by lots of free parking, while the SIT policies specifically direct students to free Forth Street parking (sit.ac.nz). Those official references make Forth Street the relevant free alternative near this campus, rather than a shopping-centre rule intended for another SIT location.

## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Near 133 Tay Street

Parking pressure is most likely to build around teaching-day arrivals, student activity and campus events, because free student parking is the clearly identified official provision for the Tay Street campus (sit.ac.nz). Forth Street can therefore be a practical first choice for students, while staff and visitors may prefer a priced space when they need a more predictable arrival.

The campus policies state that parking offences are covered by SIT rules and procedures (sit.ac.nz). The published Invercargill campus material also identifies disability parks, so drivers should leave those spaces available for eligible users. Parking information for Remarkables Park, including its 3-hour limit, belongs to the Queenstown campus and is not a restriction for streets around 133 Tay Street.

## Walking From Invercargill Rail Access to SIT

SIT is 510 m from Invercargill Central centre, placing the campus within the central city walking area. The address is in Richmond, near Invercargill Central, so drivers combining rail or central-city travel with a walk should use 133 Tay Street as the destination rather than treating the campus as a Queenstown site.

The most direct parking-and-walking choices are therefore the nearby Forth Street, Esk Street and Tyne Street Parksy spaces, at 260 m, 350 m and 420 m respectively, with the Forth Street space also matching the campus’s official student-parking location.
